Bintan Triathlon

Registration opened recently for the 2009 Bintan Triathlon on May 23 and 24. PK encouraged me to consider participating, so I checked it out.

Wasn't able to find any information on the cut off times for each leg of the OD race. Start time is 2 pm on May 23 (Sat). So I emailed to the organizers (TriBob). Received a very prompt reply:

Dear S.E,

Thank you for contacting us. With regards to your question below, please see the following answer…

Participants are not allowed to start their first or second lap of the run course after 6pm (4hrs into the race). They will be directed straight to the finish line, receive a finisher medal and have their times recorded. The official results will state that the participant did not complete the run.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

That's great news! I hope to be done by four hours. Bad news is that the Nirwana Gardens hotel is already fully booked. Sure need a larger capacity hotel.

Yet another update from helpful Kim: Apparently the hotel arrangements have yet to be finalized. So booking for Nirwana Gardens will be available! Two pieces of good news today!
